Homophones (Mini #42)
Are you using the right word? In our text-heavy world, it’s easy to use the wrong version of a homophone. What are homophones? Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently. Like to, too, and two.
How this works is I’ll give you the clue and you just give me the homophone. I won’t make you spell it. If you’re curious about the spelling, you can see the show’s transcript on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
All in the Family Trivia

What that means is, I’ll give you a country and you tell me what country is to the west of that one. If there are more than one, go with the nation that shares the largest western border.
Frasier Trivia
Do you hear the blues a-callin’? Well, fear not my friends, I have Frasier Trivia to chase them away for the 275th episode of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast.

Breaking Bad Trivia
Ready to get bad? Well, it’s episode 270 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast and this week, I’ve got Breaking Bad Trivia.
Every week for Season Six, it’s TV Trivia and it’s time we did a drama series. This one was very popular, so I figured it was a good choice.
If you’re new to the show, here’s how it works. There are three rounds of questions. I ask, you get a timer, and then we sort things out. If you need rules, scorecards, or anything else, visit the show’s website DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.

MASH Trivia
Welcome to Season Six of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. I’m your host Brian Rollins and I have a whole year’s worth of TV trivia set for you. We’ll do old shows and new shows.
But always shows that are completed with the exception of some that have gotten reboots. We’ve done several shows in past seasons, especially sci-fi shows, so if you don’t hear me talk about your favorite show, check DorkyGeekyNerdy.com to see if I’ve covered it already.
We kick off Season Six with one of the biggest sitcoms of all time, MASH. How big was it? Well, the series finale is still the most watched episode of television. Only live sporting events have had more viewers.
I’ve talked enough, so let’s get started with the show.

Martian Manhunter Trivia
Welcome to episode 261 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, I have thirty questions about that alien superhero, Martian Manhunter. While not as popular as the rest of his friends, he is a prominent figure in comics, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t have an episode for him.
When you’re done with Martian Manhunter trivia, please leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify for Dorky Geeky Nerdy. I’d appreciate the help and support.
And now, let’s start the show.

Time to relax and grab a drink for Alcohol Trivia on this week’s episode of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. We are going to, responsibly, consume thirty questions about alcohol and its representation in pop culture (including some Sci-Fi drinks and Fantasy brews).
Unlike the actual stuff, there is no age limit for these questions. If this subject is too triggering for you, skip it and come back next week. We’ve got comic book trivia then.
OK? Good. Then let’s dive in.
Crossword Clues Starting with H (Mini #32)
Bonus episode and it's another Crossword Clues episode. This time, it's ten words starting with the letter H.

Star Trek: Picard Trivia

More Star Trek trivia? Of course! This time, we visit the Star Trek series that ended in 2023, Star Trek: Picard. It got a mixed response in the beginning, but most everyone loved the final season.

Santa Claus Trivia
‘Tis the season for trivia! Today is the Feast of St. Nicholas, the inspiration for a certain Christmas figure. So, we’re going to have some Santa Claus Trivia for episode 254 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast.
Patreon is now live! Get DGN Ad-Free!
That right, jolly old elf hasn’t had an episode of his own yet, so here are thirty trivia questions about him, his history, and the movies that feature him.
Let me know on social media or Spotify what your favorite incarnation of Santa is. And with that, let’s dive into the show.
Greek Mythology Trivia
It’s time to get epic. This week, for the 253 iteration of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast, it’s Greek Mythology Trivia.
To say this has been requested a lot would be an understatement. It’s hands down the most requested topic. So, why have I avoided it? Well…it’s mythology, so finding a “right answer” can be tricky. So, these are going to be what’s commonly accepted as the answers based on Bullfinch’s Mythology and Wikipedia.
That’s the caveat. If you disagree with me, please feel free to let me know. If this works, expect more mythologies in future episodes.
Rhino Trivia with Jacqi Coffee (Mini #30)
It’s mini trivia time. I have a special treat for you today. I have a guest co-host. My daughter, Jacqi Coffee.
This week, we're covering those lovably big mammals, Rhinos!
If you want to help support rhinos, visit Rhinos.org and donate to the International Rhino Foundation.
Doctor Strange Trivia
Things are getting strange here at the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. For episode 252, we have that marvelous magician, Doctor Strange.
Like always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. Each round is, in theory, harder than the one before it. If you’ve got feedback or want to find out how to support the show, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
Before we dive in, I do have a quick request. Can you leave a review of the show? If you’re enjoying things, please leave a review on whatever app you use for podcasts. Especially Apple Podcasts, I seem to be light on reviews there. If you have already left a review, you have my thanks.

Gulf War Trivia
It’s Episode 251 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, we finish our trio of 20th century war trivia episodes with Gulf War Trivia. I was in high school when this started, so it’s not something I studied in a textbook. I have friends that served in this war and they have interesting stories. If you were there, thank you for your service.
Just like always, DGN has three rounds of ten questions each. If you need rules or score cards, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
And now, on with the show.
Ms. Marvel Trivia (Mini #29)
It’s Marvel time. Another superhero movie hits screens this week, so I thought it was a good time to do a deeper dive into Ms. Marvel’s past. Specifically, the one currently appearing in comics and the MCU. Captain Marvel got her own showcase way back in our second episode, so check that out if you haven’t already.
Vietnam War Trivia
It’s the 250th episode of Dorky Geeky Nerdy! We also broke 250,000 downloads in October, so it’s milestones all around. Thank you all so much for your support. For our second November episode, we’re continuing our wars of the 20th century theme with Vietnam War Trivia.
As a Gen-Xer, I grew up with adults that fought in this war and heard so many first-hand tales of what it was like. If you served, thank you for your service. I know it was brutal.
With that said, let’s get this show started.
Korean War Trivia
All right troops. Line up for inspection. It’s trivia time. Since November 11 is Veterans’ Day or Armistace Day, I thought a trio of war trivia episodes would be in order. These three have all been requested over the last 5 years and I’m glad to finally have them on paper (so to speak). We start off with Korean War Trivia. Of the many 20th Century wars, this seems to be the forgotten one with little information about it. So, you’ve got your work cut out for you.
As always, Dorky Geeky Nerdy has three rounds of ten questions each. I ask the question, you get a timer, then we sort things out. OK?
If you need rules or scorecards, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
I think that’s enough prep work, let’s start the show.
Zombie Movie Trivia
They’re coming for you, listener. This week, for episode 248 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast, we have Zombie Movie Trivia. We’re wrapping up our October episodes with the genre.
If you’d like to learn more about the show, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. You can also find us on social media and Spotify.
OK. Bar the doors and let’s get started.
Ghost Movie Trivia
Things are going bump in the night here at the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. For episode 247 of the show, I’ve got Ghost Movie Trivia.
Once again, the edges are blurry on the subgenre, but I think I got it dialed in. If you disagree, I’m sure you’ll let me know on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com, social media, or Spotify.
Ring the bell and knock thrice because it’s trivia time.
Demon Movie Trivia
Is there anyone in there with you? Maybe splash a little holy water around just to be sure because this week, for episode 246 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Podcast, we’ve got Demon Movie Trivia.
Even more so than Slasher Movie Trivia last week, the edges for this subgenre are a bit fuzzy. I’m including movies with demons, demonic possessions and even the Devil himself.
If you want to send me feedback on this one, especially if you have strong opinions on something I included or excluded, let me know on social media or on Spotify. Every week I have a Q&A section and a poll, so let your voice be heard.
For anything else, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
Let me make sure I’ve got the Latin pronunciations correct and let’s get started.
Slasher Movie Trivia
Check behind the door and around the corner because something’s out there. That’s right kids, we’re kicking off October with the first of four horror-themed episodes. This week, it’s Slasher Movie Trivia for episode 245 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast.
Now, there’s no hard and fast rule about what constitutes a “slasher movie”, but I went with some lists of popular films in the subgenre to come up with these thirty movies.
Did I miss one you love? Let me know on Spotify or Social Media. Oh, speaking of social media, if you’re on BlueSky, come follow the show. Just search for Dorky Geeky Nerdy and you’ll find us. I also have a link to it on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
I hear approaching footsteps so let’s get going.
